Activist Post Editor’s Note: While we vehemently disagree with this author’s conclusions, we’re bringing you this news strictly for the good reporting about the details of what air travel is starting to look like in the post-corona world. Unless, of course, consumers refuse to subject themselves to this.

There is no denying the fact that the global pandemic has affected all the spheres of our lives and moving forward, some things will remain irreversibly changed.

With many new practices being implemented in our sanitation protocols, the International Airport in Hong Kong has topped it all by launching cleaning robots and full-body disinfectant booths.

The booths, called Cleantech, are used for sanitizing and disinfecting people. The entire process only takes a couple of minutes. The person, before entering Cleantech, is checked for temperature. Then they enter the booth where they are exposed to antimicrobial coating and sanitizers, killing any germs or viruses found on the surface of our cloth or body.

Cleantech uses the photocatalyst and “nano-needles” technology and can remotely disinfect any surface. The Hong Kong International Airport’s website informs us that negative pressure is maintained in the channel to avoid any cross-contamination between the outside environment and the inside of the booth.

Although the antimicrobial coating is currently being used only by the airport employees involved in the sanitizing protocol, reports suggest that the coating will be introduced into public life soon. The antimicrobial coating reportedly has also been tested on sensitive and vulnerable surfaces such as door handles, public transport buses, seats, and toilets. The authorities claimed that after the test run ends, they will consider introducing it permanently in their disinfection measures.

You might even be surprised if you see tall futuristic robots cleaning at the Hong Kong International Airport.

The autonomous robots are instructed to roam around the airport terminal and identify surfaces that are often used by the public and then sanitize and disinfect those areas. You might encounter these cleaning robots in airport facilities,

SensibleVision CEO George Brostoff sees customer loyalty rewards as a logical next step in the U.S. And Goode Intelligence Founder Alan Goode, sees a huge potential for biometric customer loyalty programs.

Written a few years before the author Bente Dammegaard left this world: “At the moment I am 81 years old and live on the beautiful island of Mallorca, Spain. When I wrote the book I looked back on my life wondering how on earth I had succeeded in collecting so many years. Along the way I have become the mother of three wonderful and very different children, have spent a lot of my life as a translator and, as such, have translated books, films, comics and scientific texts. I have been an instructor of non-violent jiujitsu, been a teacher of languages for adults and never had a steady job but always been a free lance person, that is to say I have worked my bum off when others were on holiday, been a tourist guide at an old fortress/castle – which the Swedes built against us Danes, and I was the first and only one to conquer it. I am a Dane by birth, moved to Sweden in 1966 with husband and three children, lived there for more than 35 years and moved to Spain because the ice and snow on the roads of Sweden were just too much. I am now, more than ever, conscious of the fact that I – and nobody else in the universe – am responsible for how my attitude towards life is. I can choose to see myself as a victim and feel sorry for me, or I can see myself as surrounded by miracles, which I truly am, and be grateful.”
